Western New Hampshire is practically Vermont. There are more Subarus in Bath with Vt plates than local pickup trucks. On a serious note, I think a lot of people in Academia are audiophiles, as I learned on a facebook group. So University towns may be your best bet. At least 4 of you will be in Burlington and the rest in Middlebury.
those are your friends? |
@parkergetdean Yes you are correct about audiophiles and college towns. We don't have any near us. My wife is a Middlebury grad and we get over there for reunions. I went to college in Seattle, not convenient from here. You are right about Subarus and PU trucks. An abundance of both, LOL. I like riding on the VT side of the CT river best, don't be offended now, but the view is much better looking east because we are seeing predominantly NH. VT or NH, though, either way, this is paradise. I am all worn out with FL. |
@billstevenson I spent every other weekend at my friend's cabin in Lyman for 20+ years (Lyman is 15 miles west of Littleton, NH). We hiked every peak and nook in a 50 mile radius. We always felt that Vermonters were like Canadians, soft and nice and we were the tough ones. (Not that we were though) My friend was a collector of electronics and I was maximalist, and I kept bringing up "2nd system" audio gear to improve the "cabin sound".For the most part those 80s Denon and Yamaha amps and Cambridge Soundworks speakers sounded amazing!

@parkergetdean yep I know the area. Believe it or not I have cycled from Colebrook down there and back years gone by. Too old for those long distances any more, although I still ride pretty much every day even now. Even today, winter and all, I have a stationary bike in the basement. In the good weather I do about 25 miles a day up here. My minimalist system up here is Marantz PM10 and B&W 802s and SA10 and 3 TTs at the moment. LOL. |
